B.2 Setting the documentation URL after installation

If you install Abaqus products before installing Abaqus HTML documentation or if you do not specify the URL for HTML documentation during the product installation, you must add the URL to the abaqus_v6.env and url.js files.

B.2.1 Setting the doc_root parameter in the `abaqus_v6.env` file

The documentation URL is required in the abaqus_v6.env file to provide access to the HTML documentation from Abaqus. The abaqus_v6.env file is located in the solvers_install_dir/os/SMA/site/ subdirectory. The required parameter definition is as follows:

HTML and PDF documentation installation with web server
```
doc_root="http://computername:port_number/v2016"
```
where computername is the fully qualified domain name of the web server and port_number is the port number used by the web server (if required). For example, a valid parameter definition is
```
doc_root="http://willow.xyz.com:2080/v2016"  
```

HTML and PDF documentation installation with no web server

doc_root="file:///doc_install_dir/Documentation/docs/
   v2016/index.html"

where doc_install_dir is the HTML documentation installation parent directory. For example, valid parameter definitions are

Linux platforms

doc_root="file:///usr/local/SIMULIA/Documentation/docs/
   v2016/index.html"

Windows platforms

doc_root="file:///d:/SIMULIA/Documentation/docs/
   v2016/index.html"

PDF-only documentation installation (no web server). In this case you must set the values of two parameters as follows:
```
doc_root_type="pdf"
doc_root="doc_install_dir"
```
where doc_install_dir is the path to the installation base directory.

B.2.2 Setting the documentation URL in the `url.js` file

The documentation URL is required in the url.js file to enable links from help windows in Abaqus/CAE to associated topics in the Abaqus HTML documentation. The url.js file is located in the cae_install_dir/os/CAEhelp/redirects/ directory. The line in the url.js file should have the following form:

HTML documentation installation with web server
```
var baseURL="http://computername:port_number/v2016/books/";
```
where computername is the fully qualified domain name of the web server and port_number is the port number used by the web server (if required). For example, a valid definition is
```
var baseURL="http://willow.xyz.com:2080/v2016/books/";
```

HTML documentation installation with no web server

var baseURL="file:///doc_install_dir/Documentation/docs/
   v2016/books/";

where doc_install_dir is the HTML documentation installation parent directory. For example, valid definitions are

Linux platforms

var baseURL="file:///usr/local/SIMULIA/Documentation/docs/
   v2016/books/";

Windows platforms

var baseURL="file:///d:/SIMULIA/Documentation/docs/
   v2016/books/";
